sisting tho progress of Nijpolconisni; at?
tacked Bonner as the abotter of tho coup
d'etat. Buffel said tho country was threat?
ened by a double danger, from revolu?
tionists and BonapartiBts; danger from
revolutionists was more serious; the Go?
vernment would watch them. The Bona
partists and tho Bight cheered; the Left
protested. Dufavoro said tho Govern?
ment would display vigilance with re?
gard to tho Bonapartists. Ho would not
remain a mornber of a government that
neglected that duty. Gambetta called
attention to tho divergence of two Minis
tors, and accused tho Government of
supporting tho Bonapartists by main?
taining tho Bonapartists in office. Build

in tho Cabinet, especially between Duffa
voro and himself, who were rendering
service to tho country by retaining old
functionaries who were loyal, although
they had served under thoEmperor. The
Left violently protested; the Bight and
Bonapartists loudly cheered. A resolu?
tion that tho Assembly, confiding in tho
Government's declarations, proceed to
tho order of tho day, passed?-183 to 3.

Tho Paris correspondent of the Times
summarizes result of yesterday's debato

thrown back on the Bight The diffi?
cult}' arising is how can the Government
remain in power, supported by a majori?
ty which is opposed to constitutional
bills'? As it cannot bo supposed the
Government will resign without com
ploting its constitutional work, will it
rely upon tho majority of last night, or
upon that from which it has violently
sopnratod itsolf? Tho coming sittings
must solve this problem; meanwhile
victory belongs to the Bonapartists.

recognize more than in 1803, the right
of the civil authorities to interfere in
questions which belong only to tho ec?
clesiastical domain; and notwithstanding
my deep respect for our gracious sove?
reign, and my perfect submission to her
authority in everything that belongs to
civil matters, I am and will always be
obliged to refuse sepulture to J. Guibord
in consecrated ground, so long as my
bishop forbids mo to grant it.

A Confederate Turks Up After Thir?
teen Years' Ausence.?Win. Newall,
who joined ouo of the companies from
this County in the early part of the late
war, and who it was thought was long
since dead, returned to his wife and
children about two weeks ogo. Our in
formant states that Newall, if he did not
desert to the enemy, of which he is not
ce rtain, he took the oath of allegiance to
the Federal Government after being cap?
tured. As to his whereabouts during
this long absence, we are not fully in?
formed, but learn that, becoming reli?
giously inclined, he attended and went
through a theological course at some col?
lege, and comes back, like the prodigal
son, knocking at the door of his family
for admission. But, unlike the good old
father, his wife persistently refuses to
allow him admission, or in any way to
recognize him. She was ploughing in
the lield when he reached her home, and
when informed of his arrival, though re?
luctant to believe it at first, she declined
to sec him. He claims to have a license
from the Protestant Methodist Church,
North, to preach the Gospel; and on
Sunday morning last held forth at Jack
Hood s old whiskey distillery.

War History.?The veteran journalist,
Mr. Thurlow Weed, in a letter to the
New York Tribune, makes an interesting
contribution to the secret history of the
late war. He was sent abroad on a con?
fidential mission by Secretary Seward in
D? -ember, 18(11, just after the capture of
Mason and Slidell on the British steamer
Trent by an American man-of-war, an
event which aroused all England. Mr.
Weed details the story of the interference
of Queen Victoria at this time, when war
between the United States and Great
Britain seemed inevitable, by causing
the despatch demanding the surrender
of Mason and Slidell to be so far modified
in language and spirit as to render a
compliance with it less difficult to our
Government, and mentions other cases
in which he came to know that tho
United States were specially and signally
indebted to her good offices.
"There has not enough gold been

Other candid statements arc that the best

H AisiNo Part rid oes.--Near Atlant a, Go.,
last fall, a negro built a coop, six feet by
seven, into which he put a dozen par?
tridges, the ground being first covered
with grass. During the winter thoy
thrived, in the spring they mated, laid
eggs, and hatched out several broods of
young, and the negro now has about
sixty young partridges, all doing well.
They are tame, healthy, and seem to be
contented.
A certain clerk in a Western village

woman." "She was, eh?" said he.
"Well, that's just my luck. How am I
expected to know? I never read the
